netbug009 asked for Sylander realizing they're falling in love with each other, and my-ships-control-my-life asked for Sylander with candy hearts. I tried to combine both, so hopefully it's okay! Happy Valentine's Day!

Wander could be a bit silly, but Sylvia had become fond of the fuzzy spoon's silliness. It was no surprise to her when she woke up one morning to a giant white candy heart (it made her chuckle at the fact that it wasn't pink; Wander knew she hated pink) with red letters that read "Love You" across it's surface.

They'd spent a couple Valenticimo Athenio Daious (or to just put it simply, Day of Love) together passing out cards and candy hearts and even red teddy bears to folks who were looking kinda down and alone. It was another excuse for Wander to spread his good and Sylvia was totally behind him, even if she did think the reason for the whole day was sapping and honestly would never pertain to her.

But her and Wander had been traveling the galaxy for a few years now, and her heart had grown soft under his ministrations. He was the light that kept her darkness away, and she appreciated him for all that he'd done for her.

This Day of Love was no different than the other two they'd spent together. After devouring the candy heart (totally spoiling breakfast, but Sylvia didn't care), they set off to do their thing. It was an all day event, but they passed out the various tokens to any lonely looking folks they came across. The joy on Wander's face was priceless, and Sylvia wondered when was the last time she'd gotten annoyed by that huge smile of his. She couldn't recall.

They ended the day on a tall hill watching a meteor shower with a box of chocolates between them.

"Y'know, Sly-" Wander broke the quiet.

"What's that, buddy?" Sylvia answered, looking over at him.

Wander rubbing the back of his skinny neck, and Sylvia realized he looked a little nervous, which was rare of him. "I've never had a special someone before, but when I met you, I think that changed."

He reached out and handed her a tiny red candy heart. Sylvia brought it close to her eyes and read the tiny white print. It said "Be Mine." She glanced over at Wander and for the first time was surprised by his expression. He was smiling, but it wasn't an excited or expectant or all out crazy smile like he usual wore. It was a calm smile, filled with love towards her.

Sylvia never thought about being a special someone to anybody, but in that moment, she felt her heart pitter-patter unexpectedly for this little furball. She loved him, she really, truly loved him. And he loved her back.

Maybe they could make this work. Maybe they could be best friends and special someones too. It was kind of a scary notion, but Sylvia was rarely afraid of anything.

She reached over, taking Wander's hand in her and squeezing. For the first time, Sylvia said these words out loud to him, "I love you, Wander."

His smile grew bigger as he scooted over, and wrapped his arms around Sylvia's neck. He pulled away a moment later and they gazed at one another. Wander cupped his hand over Sylvia's snout, and Sylvia didn't back away when he kissed her. It was short and extremely sweet, but it gave her those crazy fuzzy feelings in her chest that she'd only heard about.

"I love you, Syl," Wander said, and with that, they cuddled together as they always did, knowing things would be different between them, but also wouldn't change at all.
